Security researchers at Calif just revealed they built a working macOS kernel exploit on Apple's M5 chip in just five days, heavily assisted by Anthropic's Mythos Preview model. The exploit bypassed Apple's multi-year MIE hardware safety protections to gain a root shell. Calif shared findings with Apple directly and is holding back the 55-page report until a patch ships.
Apple just refreshed the Vision Pro with an M5 chip and a cushioned Dual Knit Band, starting at $3,499. The new silicon delivers up to 50% faster system AI tasks, renders 10% more display pixels, and bumps battery life to 2.5 hours. Why it matters: Apple is tackling the biggest pain points—comfort and horsepower—while keeping its premium spatial computing bet moving.
Apple just announced its next-gen M5 chip, packing a dedicated Neural Accelerator inside every GPU core. That translates to over 4x peak GPU compute for AI workloads compared to M4, alongside a 30% jump in unified memory bandwidth to 153GB/s. Why it matters: Running local LLMs and diffusion models on Macs and iPads is about to get dramatically faster.
Apple just placed orders with TSMC for its upcoming M5 chip, targeting production development ahead of late 2025. Apple is skipping the pricier 2nm node in favor of advanced 3nm tech with 3D chip stacking. Crucially, Apple plans to deploy M5 across future hardware and its own cloud AI servers.
